After checking the kernel info here's what I get: headers are 2.6.24.5, modules, src, etc. reported as 2.6.27.7 in gslapt but uname reports the kernel as 2.6.25.7. Shouldn't these match?

Are you sure you're running B2 there? I get 2.6.27.7 from unameI have linux-2.6.27.7 in /usr/src

I think the problem is a leftover headers package./var/log/packages does indeed report a kernel-headers-2.6.24.5

I think *Just think* if you remove the headers package and just make sure you have the kernel source package installed, you should be able to do what you need done. (I may be wrong do not follow this advise before verifying the information provided)

If you are using something besides lilo to boot your install make sure it using the correct kernel. But your kernel the kernel src and kernel modules all must be the same or you will run into all kinds of problems. The kernel headers are always a few revisions behind for stability/compatibilty reasons in building programs.

I am using lilo and after a reinstall still got the same. Then I suspected that since I'm using a partition on the drive that has my SOHO install and using that lilo install with a line for Std 6.0b2. I realized that the 2.6.25.7 is the kernel for SOHO 5.9.1. I'll update lilo and perhaps it'll get the right boot line. I became very suspicious when lsmod gave me nothing in b2! I'll try again and be back in a few...

Addendum: Well, I can't tell you if this helped as it killed my master lilo setup. Booting from the beta 2 disk allowed everything to setup correctly except nvidia graphics. When I get everything sorted out I'll come back (in Vista right now).

Great Job looks nice but it has a issue when setting up the wifi/wlan0 cards it is not properly setting the essid. and there for it is not connecting to networks. you have to go to a console and iwconfig and set the essid.

put kde 3.5.9/10 into the menu option of desktops to install and include them on the iso.

Future requests/desires:1. Grub option. Better recovery from errors (and errors do occur!). Chroot usually not needed to fix grub errors.2. GUI Install: Would be nice to finish all the options/choices BEFORE actual install. If problem, didn't waste time installing.3. GUI Install: A one page summary of all selections, and the ability to click on an item in the left column to go back and change.

When the window pops up saying "Vector Linux installation is complete. Click next to begin system configuration" it seems to pop up to soon as "Installation summary remains red" I have to wait several moments before it turns green.

Lilo does not see Suse partition.Linux Mint partition seen as debian and defaults to initrd instead of initrd-imgSays that no networking devices found...always found them before.Says that "Vector Linux is performing final system config Please wait a moment" and just stays there, waited it out for a while then rebooted.In system configuration NVidia install fails. This is odd as I did not have the problem the install before (full install)or the one after (custom install)I was able to install NVidia after a reboot with VasmCC, however, I got the same problem I've been getting on this machine since alpha 0.37 and the x-server will not start untill I run sh x11-fonts-7.2-noarch-2vl59 from /var/log/scripts/.After which everything seems to run well.

Forgot a usb drive in the machine and got "Probing EDD (edd=off to disable ok) Undefined Video mode number 317Hit space or wait 30 seconds (something like that)Took the usb drive out tried again and no such warning.

This time I did a custom install. Results very much the same as full install.-progress bar and "Vector Linux installation is complete" seem to show up to soon. Harddrive keeps working long after and when it finishes the red button turns green on the "Installation summary" line on the left.

-"Vector Linux is performing system config..." never finishes. I waited an hour this time. (Went and watched the news...depressing)-rebooted and configured NVidia set-up ok, but again x-server would not lunch until I ran sh x11-fonts-7.2-noarch-2vl59.Seems to be fine now and I can test other things.Same machine as previous post.Ken

Ok... sounds like there is definitely a problem with the background configuration.

Those of you having LILO problems. First I'd like to say thisselecting "high" from the resolution dropdown will set your append to "splash=silent vga=791"

@Stretchedthin.Your Linux mint issue is merely a labeling issue. The installer only identifies most major distros. We simply cannot add identifiers for each single distro out there... In fact, the old lilo setup will identify a Vector installation on another partition as "Slackware".With that said, you can always use the LILO setup window to edit your labels... if YOu know it's Mint and not Debian, change it. You should also pay attention to the initrd dropdown. This is simply a list of possible initrds. The installer has no way to test each one of them. Some user interferance is needed here.

I'm still seeing font rendering problems with beta 2. A strange one - it is browser content that is showing problems. Tried in both Firefox and Seamonkey, problem is visible in both. Fonts for menus etc in either browser is fine.

eBay gives very poor results, as does The Register. I wondered whether it might be missing fonts (while the MS corefonts are installed, its not a full set). I installed the rest of the MS set, but it hasn't helped. Still badly pixilated fonts on a number of web sites.
